Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Plantation, FL
Air duct cleaning in Plantation typically runs $390 – $720 for a full system on a single-unit home, with most jobs completed in a day. We’re Cardinal Air Duct Cleaning, part of the Relay Home Co. family, and we work differently than the coupon-bait crews that quote one price on the phone and present another at the door. If you’re noticing dust settling back onto furniture within days of wiping it down, or your vents smell musty when the AC kicks on, call (737) 727-2314 and we’ll give you a written price before a single duct is touched.
Why Plantation Homes Are Different
Plantation’s housing stock spans decades, and that matters when it comes to what’s inside the ducts. The mature neighborhoods around East Acreage and the older sections near Plantation Acres hold homes built in the 1970s and 80s, where ductwork is often rigid metal wrapped in aging insulation that sheds fibers into the airflow. Newer construction, especially the larger single-family homes around Jacaranda, is tighter and more efficient, but tighter envelopes mean less natural air exchange, so whatever gets into the ducts stays in the ducts.
South Florida humidity is the other player here. Plantation sits far enough inland that homes rely on AC nearly nine months of the year. Condensation forms on cool duct surfaces in attics that regularly reach 130 degrees, and when that moisture meets Florida’s organic dust load, you get exactly what you’d expect: microbial growth, musty smells, and air that feels heavy even when the thermostat says 72. Homes in Plantation with original ductwork often carry a visible dust bloom around supply registers, a sign the ducts themselves are shedding more than they’re delivering.
Our Main Plantation Services
Most Plantation homeowners call us for two reasons: the dryer is running two cycles to dry one load, or the AC is running constantly and the house still feels dusty. Each service below has its own Plantation page with local pricing, what the job involves, and answers to the questions we hear most.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Plantation
A dryer vent in Plantation fills with lint faster than most people realize, especially in homes where the dryer sits against an interior wall and the vent run stretches 15 to 25 feet before it exits. Every bend in that run is a lint trap. The humidity here also does something sneaky: it makes lint stick to the vent walls instead of blowing through, so the buildup compacts and hardens over time. When that happens, your dryer’s moisture sensor gets confused, your clothes stay damp, and worst case, the vent itself becomes a fire hazard waiting for an ignition source. We run professional rotary brush systems through the full run and show you before-and-after photos of your own vent, not a stock image. See Dryer Vent Cleaning in Plantation for full pricing and the 365-Day Done Right Promise details.
Air Duct Cleaning in Plantation
Plantation’s air ducts work hard. Between the sandy soil stirred up by landscaping, the humidity that turns dust into a paste inside the ducts, and the endless AC season, your ductwork is a collection point for everything you don’t want circulating through the house. We use Nikro HEPA-filtered vacuums for negative-pressure extraction, which means the loosened debris is pulled straight into the containment unit instead of being blown back into your living room. The job includes all supply and return ducts, the main trunk line, and register covers. Straight to the numbers: Air Duct Cleaning in Plantation has the full local price breakdown.
HVAC Cleaning in Plantation
The coil and blower are the engine of your AC system, and in Plantation, they run for the better part of the year. A dirty blower wheel moves less air, which makes the system work harder to hit the same temperature, which means higher FPL bills and a shorter equipment lifespan. We clean the evaporator coil, blower assembly, housing, and secondary drain pan where applicable, then verify airflow before we pack up. Plantation’s humidity makes coil cleaning here more urgent than in drier parts of the state, because the same moisture that causes microbial growth on the coil is also what your family is breathing.
